Chapter 16: Life comes fast, don't forget it

OMG!!! This has to be the longest friggin' story I've ever written!!! I'm so proud of myself!! CHA!!

Okay, my 'Xiaolin Showdown gone Insane' story is on hold because I keep getting hyper but can't get on the computer when I am...So...I just happened to decided to update this story because I haven't updated that fast. Stupid fighting scenes...

Disclaimer: Don't. Own. Xiaolin. Showdown!!!

Raimundo made up his mind. He would die for Kimiko if he had no choice. He loved her too much.

Rebecca ran at Raimundo with amazing speed. It looked like she was a few feet in front of him first, then face to face with him next!

Raimundo relaxed, making Rebecca even more outraged.

Emptying his mind was one of the best things he could do in his life.

-----Memory-----

Kimiko giggled out of pure enjoyment. "Raimundo!! I'm getting wet!!"

"That's the point!!" Raimundo laughed.

"Young monks." Master Fung interrupted their water fight.

"Sorry, Master Fung." The two inwardly laughed at their stupidity.

"I don't understand why you two must inturrupt my lectures!" Master Fung left, thinking about what these two could possibly be thinking.

"They're boring." Kimiko giggled. Raimundo burst out laughing. They enjoyed their time together before the Heylin side attacked again. This battle seemed to never end. They just wanted to be together.

----End memory-----

The pain shot up from Raimundo's stomache. He found himself holding back a scream and grunting instead.

Rebecca smirked.

Raimundo let himself fall. He just needed a little more time...which he didn't have.

-----Memory------

Raimundo jumped up, Kimiko screaming from the clutches of Mala Mala Jong.

Kicking one side of Jong, he grabbed the Shroud of Shadows, wrapping himself in the cloak. Taking a few more wu to aid him he pulled Jong to the ground, releasing Kimiko. (A/N: Sorry, when I first thought this out, I skipped it. Make up what you think he did.)

Raimundo ran to Kimiko's side. Only to have Chase stop him.

"How cute." He mused as he wrapped his hand around Raimundo's neck. "But that will be the last chance you get to see her."

Raimundo clenched his teeth. Breathing was getting harder. He gasped for air. "I would die for Kimiko!! If that's your wish, then mine is a death wish!!"

Chase looked taken aback by Raimundo's sudden mental strength.

Clay and Omi dragged a crying Kimiko into the forest behind the temple.

Out of sight and earshot, Chase dropped Raimundo.

Raimundo looked up at him, astonished. "Huh?"

"Dying for one person is foolish. Learn to live for your team and you might survive. Death I won't bring upon you today. But revenge is around the corner." Chase lifted off the ground and flew away.

When Kimiko returned she looked so happy to see him alive. Happy. He'd remember that expression...that feeling...

------End memory-------

Rebecca started screaming, "WHY AREN'T YOU FIGHTING BACK?! What's wrong with you?! Do you wish to die?!"

Matt watched from a distance. How amusing.

Chase smirked. That smirk. If one thing could set Raimundo off, it was that. But, still, Raimundo stayed calm. Just a bit longer...

Kimiko didn't have enough energy to dodge.

Oh, how she wanted to feel the warmth of Raimundo's arms around her waist, his cool breath on her ear, then his soft lips on hers. What she wanted most, was the comfort that Raimundo gave her. Comfort...

Jack hit a button on his watch. Instead of any robots, instead of his Jackbot, energy poured out of his gloves' ends.

Kimiko felt her heart practically stop. How was he doing that?! She felt herself panic. What now?

-----Memory-----

Raimundo was running at his top speed, but Kimiko could do SO much better!!

She burst through a door and opened another, appearing in front of Raimundo.

"YOU ARE SO DEAD!!!" Kimiko screamed.

"Alright, alright. Here." Raimundo handed Kimiko her laptop.

"What did you read?" Kimiko accused.

"Nothing!! Promise!!" Raimundo secretly crossed his fingers. Kimiko couldn't see it, so she let it slide.

Raimundo suddenly laughed and showed her his crossed fingers. Kimiko's jaw dropped. But she still felt like she could laugh along with him. So she did.

Laughing with Raimundo, who would have thought that would be the best memory she could keep?

-----End memory------

Kimiko felt herself fall. The blood trickled down her stomache as she let out a painful scream.

Raimundo heard Kimiko scream. He felt her pain. He felt like he had betrayed her. He felt like he couldn't help her and rage began to build up inside him.

Raimundo felt the spirit being summoned. The ancient spirit of the Dragon of the Wind was coming to aid him.

Dude, this chapter is kinda short. I'm sorry. Well, the flashbacks let them recall all the feelings they enjoyed together, because they were afraid of dying. Painful, huh?

Hope this chapter is enough, please review.
